Taishaku Gorge is an approximately 18km-long limestone gorge located in northeastern Hiroshima Prefecture. Designated as a National Scenic Spot, the natural bridge 'Otsu Bridge' is counted among the world's three largest natural bridges. A sightseeing boat cruise on Shinryu Lake allows visitors to enjoy steep cliffs and seasonal scenery from the water.
